Fish Welfare Course
Segunda, 11 Novembro, 2019 a Quarta, 13 Novembro, 2019
Descrição do Curso
Fair-fish international, CCMAR and the Fish Ethology and Welfare Group are proud to present the first edition of our Fish Welfare Course. We carefully selected top international experts in their fields to teach each module, which were specifically designed to have a practical approach. This intensive 3-day training program aims to provide a complete theoretical and practical knowledge base to:
- understand the biology of fish welfare
- design welfare programs in captive and wild caught fish
- correctly assess the welfare state of fish
- appropriately use technical solutions to improve the welfare of fish.
Formato
The welfare of fish is an essential topic that is gaining momentum in aquaculture, fisheries and academia. The correct assessment of the welfare state of fish and the promotion of best practices that ensure good welfare must rely on a) solid scientific knowledge of the biology of fish and b) appropriate design and use of technical solutions. Fish welfare has largely progressed in recent years both in research and industry, and all stakeholders should be able to benefit from these advancements. The dialogue between researchers, industry and consumers ultimately benefits all parties involved: fish live better lives, scientists have better research models, industry has better fish with higher market value and consumers eat a better product. Knowledge is therefore key for better welfare of fish.
Pré-requisitos
Participants are expected to have at least some background in fish science, aquaculture, fisheries or related disciplines.
Agenda
Audiência
The course is directed to:
- Biologists, veterinarians and technicians working in fish farms of fisheries,
- Operation directors in aquaculture or fisheries
- Quality managers in aquaculture or fisheries
- Scientists, researchers and MSc or PhD students in the field of aquaculture, fisheries, fish biology, ethology or physiology members of NGOs and associations promoting fish welfare
- Members of the general public with interest in fish welfare and a background in fish science.

Prof. Lynne Sneddon
University of Liverpool, UK
Director of Bioveterinary Sciences at the University of Liverpool. Lynne’s research addresses mechanistic and functional questions in animal welfare using aquatic models particularly addressing pain, fear and stress. Current research topics include exploring pain assessment and analgesia in laboratory fish and use of young non-protected larval fish to replace adults. Lynne is Chair of the Animal Section within the Society for Experimental Biology, sits on the NC3Rs Research Grant Panel and is ethics editor for the journal Behavioral Ecology.
How does an animal perceive its physical, chemical and biological environment? How is this sensory input integrated and processed to produce the appropriate physiological and behavioural responses? I am interested in the neural and endocrine pathways activated and/or modulated by specific olfactory inputs; reproductive pheromones and changes in environmental cations. My ultimate aim is to trace the pathways – at neural, cellular, organ/tissue and whole organism levels - from cause (sensory) to effect (physiology and behaviour).Read more
